Nearing the end of a suspended jail sentence should unlock a brighter future for CJ Davis, only the chip on his shoulder is as hard to shift as his bad reputation. Born into a family of career criminals who live down Davis Road, an address the cops have dubbed Davis Row, his name alone is like a rap sheet that makes optimism impossible.
Brand-new parole officer Noah Huxley is determined to see the good in men like CJ. After all, he knows firsthand that bad things can happen to good people. His colleagues mock his doe-eyed optimism, but Noah soon sees CJ’s bad attitude and bravado are weapons he uses to keep people at a distance.
Both men know one simple mistake can change a life forever. At first glance, they might seem to be polar opposites. Yet underneath, they’re not that different at all.
I needed him and he was there. That’s all that mattered....

Coming from a family who all the members were a criminals was not easy for CJ. For years he had learned to lived with the judgment stare from people around him for the 'track records' his family have. For years CJ learned to 'hide' and trying to look invisible to stay out from any problems. His grandpop was the only person he care and love more than his own life. He'll do anything to keep him safe and happy even if that means he must stealing and be a criminal.
What he never knew that at near the end of his prohibitions, an angel will come to save him and embraced his lonely life with trust and love, and showing him that he's worthy more than he thought...
Noah not only come to 'save' him, but he 'see' him for what he truly is...
He was everything I never knew I needed. He was everything I wanted, longed for, dreamed of, and never thought I could have.
...he anchored me.
And suddenly JC saw a hope in his angel trust and love...

The story came in a very slow pace. And it's N.R. Walker style to 'testing' the reader patience with the pace and slowly build the readers emotions until they 'trapped' in what the MC's feels to the very last page.
I love how the author build the anticipation during the reading and make us wait until 'the right moment' to break the wall of the dam that build in our heart and let ALL the feels floods out at the precise and right moment. There's a lot of moments when I didn't realize tears already rolling on my cheeks caused by just a simple hugs.
...he just loved being held. It was as heart-wrenching as it was beautiful.
The way CJ craves for a very simply hugs really broke my heart.
The author details on drawing a slow growing emotions between the two MC's was incredible beautiful. You can feels the way Noah try to 'reach' CJ trust and how CJ lower the wall he'd build to protect himself and learned to open for Noah care, all written in a very beautiful way.
I'm so glad that the author keep the boys not to move to the next level in a hurry, but hold it until it reach 66% for the boys to have their first kiss.
The anticipiton of waiting the kissing was build perfectly, and when they finally kissed...it's like you got massive orgasm only by the kiss!
On Davis Row was a beautiful, heartwarming story about love. Definitely one of the best book I've read this year.
Highly Recommended!!
